[Uncle Mick]

Time will tell, GOI. Been a very positive pre-season. How that translates can only be told after we've settled into the real stuff.

 

[bedford]

I hear you boys are very fit Uncle, a huge pre season

 

[Max Leader]

Good test for a few D1 teams in the next couple of weeks, with OG and BT playing OI.

Last time OI played a team in a lower grade they were pantsed by Banyule.

Games to be played at OI second home ground at Mernda. Ground is as big as the MCG and according to the currator, one of the best grounds outside the AFL. (Big Call)

Just Visiting Max (hopefully)

Haven't noticed any drastic changes to the fitness component of training. Numbers have obviously been greater, as has the quality. Again, no point making bold predictions until we've got through the first couple of months. We've been fortunate enough to acquire a great coaching staff (present company excluded), but it's up to the playing group to deliver results.

 

[bedford]

Great numbers on the track for Ormond, best for years

 

[AM]

Prediction bedford?

 

[bedford]

We will go alright AM. I think overall its going to be tough Division to win.

Bedford; what's the plan of action for the Rd.1 debacle? Who in their right mind gets married on the first Saturday of the footy season?!!

 

[bedford]

He comes on here, ask him mate. In fairness who knows when the season starts.
Anyhow the 2nd time we play will be great. Any involement at 2nds level as your mate Beamsy is coaching them and we have the Clubbies back

 

[Papa Biddy]

A lot of excitement down at the Boss. Rovers raring to go, but as Uncle Mick said, time will tell, and its all semantics until the season actually starts

UM, a year ago Round 1 was 21st April so I wasn't to know! I just wanted to see you blokes finally win a senior game for the first time since 2011!

Realistically there is only 1 - 3 blokes that will be missing from the 1st's

 

[perspective]

Rovers will be the one to beat

I have seen that Dureau has left Orm to go to another club and Elkman linked to Beena... but fancy playing a praccy match on Sunday at Willy...... most of the players at Orm will go straight from a night out to Willy....insane..

 

[bedford]

Dureau only played 1 game last year, trained at Beena and thought they were shit(which they are) and got an offer to join Dingley. Elkman is at Ormond and the boys will behave and make up for it the following Saturday night. Thanks for your normal insane post

Bulleen Temp beat Therry Penola on the weekend.

The Bullants play Old Ivanhoe on Sunday 24 March.

 

[79Vintage]

The Bullants lost to Old Ivanhoe by 7 goals.

The Bullants play Banyule the weekend after Easter.

 

[chislet5]

think old mentonians are being under estimated theyve recruited well and looked good in there practice mtch last week against morwell

 

[Privateye]

Cam Sharp goes well.

 

[Max Leader]

Both OGS and BT were solid hit outs and will both be tough to beat in 2013.

Depth for both may be their issue.

Practice Max

 

[BlackWhite]

Ormond lost to Old Mentonians by 5 goals on the w'end but had 10+ senior players missing

 

[chislet5]

gun

 

[Papa Biddy]

Rovers comfortably beat a very poor Sth Melb Districts by 70 points on Sunday. Big last quarter made up for a lackluster 3rd. Daniel Corp and big Sammy Clements looked very dangerous up forward booting bags of goals each. Fletch had his stock standard 30 touches. A few gun players still to come back in for rd 1, which can't come quick enough. It's been a looooooong preseason.

 

[Gybrush Threepwood]

Any final praccy games on this weekend? Ogs are having an intra-club on Saturday. Any word from Glen Eira?

 

[bedford]

Ormond playing Monbulk
